Procurement Business Process Models

Understanding the Oracle Fusion Business Process Model (BPM) is essential. BPM informs the deployment, upgrade, integration, and configuration of the product.

Oracle Fusion documentation follows the process models very closely. Roles Based Access security is also tied closed to the BPMl, so that tasks and activities are assigned appropriately. Messaging and online help are arranged by BPM. Field support uses the BPM to organize their efforts to examine and resolve issues.

This figure illustrates the five levels of the Business Process Model: Level zero (L0) - Task: A specific industry organized around raising capital, executing a business model, and reporting the resultant income to shareholders. Level one (L1) - Business Process Area Level 1: A specific business process area. Level two (L2) - Business Process Level 2: A specific business process. Level three (L3) - Activity: A specific activity. Level four (L4) - Task: A specific task involved in an activity.

An example of a level 1 business process area that crosses all industries is Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement. Procurement employs level 2 business processes and level 3 activities to track the major functional and setup components and tasks. This table lists some of these important business processes and their respective activities.
